Reception marks the entry into the main school. Whether children are transferring from a Nursery school setting or experiencing school for the very first time we aim to make the transition as smooth and happy as possible. Small class sizes and a high teacher: pupil ratio ensure that the needs of each individual pupil are met and children are able to develop at their own pace.

Following a programme based on the Foundation Stage Curriculum, children are given opportunities to develop their academic, physical, creative and social skills and to widen their knowledge and understanding of the world in a secure and vibrant learning environment. The basic skills of reading and writing are introduced and developed through a daily literacy lesson and a daily numeracy lesson introduces children to basic mathematical concepts upon which they will build throughout their school life. Dutch is introduced as a second language to fluent English speakers.
